Operators reported a fall in bookings of around 20% two weeks into the crisis and are still experiencing this. However, there have been few cancellations for summer 1999 and figures show around 70% of holidays have now been sold.
The dropping of airport tax is thought to be the only measure that would affect UK tourists.
The remaining measures are concerned with coach visitors arriving in Greece from other European countries.
GREECE is considering axeing its £15 airport tax in a series of measures to entice back tourists wary of visiting the region during the Balkans crisis.
Greek minister Evangelos Venizelos, whose portfolio includes tourism, has put together the programme which the Greek government will now consider.
Sunvil managing director and Travel Weekly columnist Noel Josephides said airport tax in Salonika, Kavala and Corfu may be disposed of for the time being because they are nearest to the trouble spots.
“We know our booking patterns are down because of the troubles,” added Josephides.
